The Colorado Avalanche bounced back from a loss in St Louis with a win at home against the Dallas Stars. We look at the social media highlights of the past week.
Mikko Rantanen is having a truly impressive season. He currently leads the league in points and assists and has this other, very important, statistic.

Gabriel Landeskog has possibly been taking lessons from Patrik Nemeth about staring at the camera in the locker room.

The team made their annual holiday hospital visit. Gabe got to pet a dog, which is very important.
You asked for puppy content...#GoAvsGo https://t.co/Y1qwZ5zRUf

Mikko clearly didn’t want to be left out of the puppy content so he improvised.
Mikko found a puppy too, don’t worry. #GoAvsGo pic.twitter.com/XcaRP30ra0

This week we found out that Ian Cole keeps his teeth behind his ear when he’s not wearing them. It’s been nearly a week and I’m still not sure how I feel about this piece of information.
Normally the spot reserved for his teeth, but today was special.

This was only A.J. Greer‘s second NHL game this season and he’s already looking like he’s seen things.

It sounds like Colin Wilson has been fishing for more followers on Instagram. Possibly. Either way the #Hashtag is very important.

Erik Johnson was quick to tell Kyle Keefe that he went to college so he would have no problem answering some more difficult questions.

J.T. Compher took over the camera and, of course, used the opportunity to film his best friend and roommate Tyson Jost.
JT took over the camera once again... 🤣🤣

The latest episode of the Avalanche podcast dropped and Lauren Gardner was back! I love Conor McGahey and Kyle Keefe but I really miss Lauren when she’s not there. Her insight into the game and her banter with Marc Moser just really elevates the podcast.
For your gameday listening pleasure, the newest podcast episode is here.

The St Louis Blues have a puppy named Barclay. He is very popular, even among opposing teams.

Tyson Jost opted not to wear a helmet during warm ups against the Dallas Stars. Since the team won that game I hope this tradition continues for a while. He looks good, especially in that fantastic third jersey.
No warmup bucket for Josty tonight.

Erik Johnson reached 200 career assists on Saturday. The goal was scored by his best friend which is just perfect.
Four games in front of our favorite fans this week.#GoAvsGo pic.twitter.com/f80hJUoTJO

So far this season the Avalanche have had more games on the road than any other team in the NHL. It nice that they’ve finally got a decent length homestand ahead of them now. We’ll be back next week to bring you all the social media highlights.
